The A/C pump mount lugs kinda give me a chuckle

Nice to see more life into the old Indian brand

You should have been picking them up in a Pontiac powerd '50s GMC truck not a Dodge!?!

Anyways, I'm glad to see you are doing good with the "V" stuff. I can't wait till someday I can afford a set.

who would have thought in 1978 when they stopped making the true pontiac 400 that we would see this down the road?new blocks,forged cranks we can afford,forged rods,now these heads,just keeps getting better.

wonder what other new things are waiting in the wings?
